way to give me a complex, bev
one of our residents is prone to saying what she thinks. it's always pleasant, though sometimes she pops off something that might sound a bit odd to someone who doesn't know her. (she once asked a 75ish-year-old woman who came to visit someone if she was wearing a thong.)
today, as i took the coffee pot off her table after lunch, in her pleasant manner of conversation she asked, 'do you have any grandchildren?'

were you wearing a thong?
um...no, but thanks for asking
well, i just thought that maybe if you were wearing a thong, she figured you were 75ish like that other lady and therefore might have grandchildren -- anyway, don't be too offended :) (even though i probably wouldn't follow my own advice, haha;)
well...do you?
This is one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. I love people like that! :-D
i do not. i told her i'm too young for grandchildren and as far as i'm concerned i'm too young for children, too.
'you don't have children?'
'no. i'd have to find a man first.'
'you should get on that.'
'i don't know where to meet them.'
'there aren't any here?'
'no. there are some at my church, but i miss a lot cuz i'm here, so i don't get a chance to get to know them.'
'you should ask for every sunday off then.'
it kept spacing b/t those last two lines. i don't know why.
Mel...I am laughing so hard! She just reminds me of my grandparents. I miss them. I know you don't like working there and you are definitely too talented, but hearing these types of stories makes me wish there was a nursing home nearby so that I could visit. I miss doing that when my grandpa lived in one...
i would love to just visit. i do enjoy (most of) the residents (most of the time).
